Description
Plastic Haircut is a time drifting phase plugin that replicates the early experiments of composer Steve Reich. Record or load audio into the plugin and select a region to loop. Plastic Haircut makes either 2 or 4 loops, each of which are cut slightly shorter than the loop before it, resulting in complex but pretty cool phasing melodic rhythms. Good for finding interesting rhythms as seeds for a larger track, intros/outros, or evolving ambient stuff. Always looking for tips, so comment or shoot me an email if you need a feature added.

I'd love to buy this device, but your site doesn't accept PayPal and I don't have a credit card. Is there another possibility?
Cheers, Reyn.
But it does one really funky thing...
When copy and pasting it, it changes the sample.
And, when I put in a new sample in one of the just duplicated instances, it changes the sample simultaneously in every instance.
That could be a hell of a cool feature, if it could somehow be made as a intended thing to happen, with some kind of setting to make.
So that it behaves like a "put in sample to copy directly to all instances"
OR
"Put in sample to just this instance" without affecting the others.
There could be very very interesting possibilities with this.
Think about the feature in a combined manner -> Some are connected as the setting is -> copy to all receiving ones, and a few are with the discrete settings. So you could for example feed 5 instances with the same drum loop, while replacing the sample in another instance with a melody loop. And then, make a really quick switch, change the single melody loop with the drum, and put in the melody loop in all other instances. Just two clicks, but boom, new stuff discovered.
I don't know if you are aware of this behaviorism of your brainchild, but hey, maybe this sparks something !
Same occurred to me. No sound coming out of the device. Did u find any solution? Drop an email to [email protected].
Appreciated!
